You really do hate humanity, don't you?

One can only conclude from that remark that you wouldn't mind living in
a "giant human feedlot". Try living in China sometime and see how you
like it.

There are a lot of things a Westerner might object to about Mainland China; but
lack of wildlife species is probably *not* near the top of the list. Lack of
individual freedom would be, but the Gaia-religion is killing that here in
America quite well.

Don't know anything about this "Gaia-religion". Don't know if I've even
met any of those folks. I do know that the more irritating
infringements on my individual freedon would be things like having to
have a permit to park at a trail head up in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie
NF, plus reservations to use many of their backcountry campsites. I
have permanently lost the freedom to visit many areas because they have
been thoroughly trashed by the loggers, dam builders, etc. Don't think
those "Gaia" folks had a hand in any of that.

Sure, we have, in many ways, lost the freedom to do whatever we damn
please wherever and whenever we want, but that's what happens when you
pack more and more people into an area. Get used to it, because, for
the forseeable future, it's only going to get worse. Don't think those
"Gaia" folks are the ones pushing population growth either.

Mainland China has problems, but those problems are separate from any lack of
wild habitat, and could arise even in a country with lots of wild species.

Personally, I don't want to be treated like cattle,

But you seem willing to treat others like parasites upon Nature.

Where exactly did I do or say any such thing? Don't think I have, but
if there are individuals out there who fit that definition, one would
certainly be entitled to say so.
